there shouldn't be any issues with you, if the council does have any issues, they shall be raising with your relative (s).

Of course you won't be deported for living in a council house but your relatives are responsible for making sure they have permission from the council for you to live there and that they declare any income from rent they are receiving. I disagree that you should somehow hide the fact you are living there by paying cash-you will need to have an official address with your education provider, presumably you will open a bank account and need an official address for that too.
